This authentic R129 SL Briefcase was offered by Mercedes-Benz exclusively with the 2002 SL-Class Silver Arrow Editions. It’s finished in aluminum with black protectors on each corner. The inside features leather bound pockets on the top portion and fully lined with fabric. The "Silver Arrow" moniker is shown between the metal clasps. The Silver Arrow Certificate is included in the sale along with the original keychain box, pen, and foam insert. The seller reports this briefcase was never used and the included Certificate remains undesignated. This rare Silver Arrow briefcase is offered by the seller in Henderson, Nevada and the shipping cost is the responsibility of the buyer.
The Silver Arrow edition R129s were offered for the 2002 model year only of which 1,550 total units were produced. Each model came exclusively with a "Silver Arrow" briefcase and many have been lost or separated from the cars today. The exterior casing is finished in alumimum which matches the additional aluminum touches on the Silver Arrow edition cars. Black protectors at each corner are fully intact. The bottom side shows well without blemish as well. Two metal clasps lock and unlock with the "Silver Arrow" moniker featured at the center.
The inside is lined with a unique cloth along both ends. The top portion also features leather bound pockets when opened up. The original 2002 SL-class Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow Certificate which was included with the briefcase when new is also included. The foam padding insert is still present along with the original keyring box and accompanying keyring. The seller reports this Silver Arrow briefcase has never been previously used. The original packaging includes a bubble wrap sleeve and box.
The MB Market Insights
When it comes to collectibility, having a complete car can make all the difference. And a complete car means accessories too. This rare briefcase is one of the must-have pieces for any R129 Silver Arrow owner. These were offered exclusively with the Silver Arrow editions which were offered for the final year model, 2002 SL500 and SL600's of which only 1,550 were produced. Rarely do we see the accompanying briefcase with the cars today. Not only are the cars rare, but these briefcases have become even more difficult to track down. This one comes with the original Certificate which is another value add. It's also neat to see the original bubble wrap and box still with the briefcase. So if you're looking to complete the puzzle and give your Silver Arrow that extra value add, this pristine briefcase may be one of the last available to the public without wear or a previously assigned VIN.
@sirmathrocksYES.. same briefcase/pen/keychain/certificate for the 1450 V8s and the 100 v12s. and @Volker - no, these were just for the 2002 Sliver Arrow edition...
